Giving to God

Proper 24, Year A

Scripture: Matthew 22:15-22

The lesson begins with them buttering Jesus up, and then asking a question that they thought would show that he was speaking out against the government so that he could get arrested. However, Jesus does not fall for it and calls them to the test instead.
